The Best Hymns of All Time
Arranged for Brass by Colin Kirkpatrick
Book 1
Were really excited to present our collection of sixty of the best-loved hymns ever composed. The hymns are scored for brass quartet but could be used with virtually any combination of brass instruments: brass quintet or small to medium brass ensemble. They are presented in a set of three books and include full four-part instrumental scores plus parts for 1st B flat trumpet, 2nd B flat trumpet, horn in F (with a separate optional part for horn in E flat), trombone and/or tuba. The tuba part is also optional because it either doubles the trombone part or plays an octave below. Both trombone and tuba parts appear on a single staff in the bass clef at concert pitch.
Theres also an
optional but useful simplified keyboard part intended for less
experienced keyboard players. The left hand plays only the bass part most of
the time, with the right hand part kept as simple as possible. It could be used
as the basis of an accompaniment and means that you can use the arrangements as
solos, duets or trios. The piano part too
means that you can use the arrangements as solos, duets or trios.
These arrangements are intended either as stand-alone pieces that could be used as interludes in a service, or they could be used to accompany solo, choral or congregational singing. This is essential music for schools and many churches and contains probably all the hymns youll ever need. The score and all the parts are contained in a single 67-page PDF file.
Book 1 contains the following twenty popular hymns: Abide with Me (Eventide); All Glory, Laud and Honor (St. Theodulph); All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name (Coronation); All Through the Night (Ar Hyd y Nos); City of God, How Broad and Far (Richmond - Haweis); Fairest Lord Jesus (Crusaders Hymn); Fight the Good Fight (Duke Street); Forth in Thy Name (Angel's Song, Song 34); Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer (Cwm Rhondda); He who Would Valiant Be (Monks Gate); Holy, Holy, Holy! (Nicea); I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (Kingsfold); Jesu, Lover of my Soul (Aberystwyth); Nearer my God to Thee (Bethany); Now Thank We All Our God (Nun Danket); O Worship the King (Hanover); Rejoice, the Lord is King (Darwalls 148th); Soldiers of Christ, Arise (Diademata); The Lords my Shepherd (Crimmond); What a Friend we Have in Jesus (Converse).
The audio samples include Abide with me (Eventide); All Through the Night (Ar Hyd y Nos); Nearer my God to Thee (Bethany), Soldiers of Christ, Arise (Diademata) and What a Friend we Have in Jesus (Converse). The music has been set in brass-friendly keys so they are not compatible with the string collection of the same name.
